Greek ena has nothing to do with that. It comes from sem-, the same root as that of lat. semel 'once' and other words. If you want a Greek cognate to unus and one there is only (ancient greek) οἰνή 'one on a dice'. Sanskrit eka has ka instead of expected na for some reason, otherwise it agrees with the rest.

Can you give some more context regarding what your response means?

It means I recognized the similarities and researched them on Google.
